Super Fun.

Though supergroups in the indie rock world certainly aren’t a novel idea (see: The New Pornographers, Monsters of Folk, Bad Books, etc.), there’s a new group that recently popped up in the indie blogosphere that you should be paying attention to, if only for what the sheer collective talent of its members might produce.

While the origins of the band’s name are anyone’s guess at this point, Lasorda probably comes from “la sorda,” the feminine Spanish noun meaning “the deaf one.” It’s an interesting and somewhat ironic name for a band, since all bands depend on their fans to hear their music.

Aside from the names of Lasorda’s members, not much else about the group’s formation is known. They’ve been on Facebook and have had two tracks on their Soundcloud account since November of last year, but only recently did the band sign to Clifton Motel Records. The blog post on the company’s site has seen a fair bit of attention since it announced the release of their debut album, but outside of that announcement and the two short demos on their Soundcloud, which each have less than 400 listens, Lasorda is virtually unknown.

The demos – “The Age of Wonder” and “Interlaid” – both feature Johannes on vocals and are certainly a harmonious synthesis of the group’s combined abilities. “The Age of Wonder” is slow-paced but catchy while “Interlaid” is a bit faster. The latter’s intro is vaguely reminiscent of the synth you often hear in Interpol’s music. Both demos clock in under three minutes, so it’ll be interesting to hear what the band can do to show off their musical chops on a full-length.

Lasorda’s self-titled album will be released both digitally and on vinyl Nov. 13, though preorder information is not yet available.
